May 15 (UPI) — The ATX TV Festival announced Thursday that Landman will receive special recognition during the event, which starts May 29 and winds down June 2.
The show, which was created by Christian Wallace and Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone) and stars Billy Bob Thornton, will be honored with the Texas Made Award.
The series is filmed in the Fort Worth area and “is a modern tale of fortune seeking amongst roughnecks and billionaires in the world of oil,” according to an official press release.
“The Texas Made Award celebrates individuals and productions with Texas ties who are creating professional opportunities for the creative community with the state, and bolstering Texas a creative and cultural center through their work,” the release states.
The show takes its inspiration from a podcast that Wallace hosts, titled Boomtown.
“Y’all, we are so excited to be bestowing our first-ever Texas Made Award, presented with Media for Texas upon Landman,” a post on the ATX TV Festival official Instagram account reads.
